Fluendo x Intelion: Low-latency live video streaming and recording for law enforcement

In fast-paced law enforcement operations, every second counts. Officers rely on live camera feeds from traffic intersections, security checkpoints, and other monitored locations to respond to unfolding events with precision and accuracy. While AI-powered media analytics platforms like Intelion can extract critical insights—such as detecting faces, license plates, objects, and more—there are moments when human eyes need to see events unfold in real time.

Fluendo’s Recasting and Recording System (RRS) bridges this gap, delivering low-latency live streams alongside AI-generated insights. Multiple teams can monitor operations simultaneously, make informed decisions, and respond immediately to evolving situations. By combining advanced multimedia technologies with AI-driven analytics, the RRS turns insights into actionable, real-time intelligence, ensuring law enforcement teams have the information they need, when they need it.

A solution designed for real-time operations

As we mentioned, law enforcement teams require real-time access to multiple camera streams, often from diverse sources with varying codecs, resolutions, and frame rates. Officers need a system that can seamlessly recast streams to multiple destinations, while also recording footage for later review or as evidence. Fluendo’s Recasting and Recording System (RRS) was designed to meet this challenge. Built as a containerized backend service with a flexible API, it enables teams to add or remove media channels on the fly, adjust configurations, and trigger notifications via webhooks, all without interrupting active feeds.

By handling these tasks at the backend, RRS ensures that officers across different locations receive the same live visual intelligence in real time. At the same time, recorded streams remain available for post-operation review or analysis. This combination of speed, reliability, and flexibility makes real-time monitoring actionable and efficient.

Modular architecture for future flexibility

From the start, Fluendo built the RRS with a modular, decoupled architecture, enabling it to support an initial set of protocols and formats while allowing future extensions with minimal disruption.

This modular design enables the quick and cost-effective addition of new functionalities or support for additional video formats. The result is a system that is scalable, adaptable, and ready to evolve in tandem with operational requirements, ensuring long-term value for law enforcement teams.

Ensuring high performance and reliability

Building a system that operates in real time demands meticulous attention to performance and reliability. At Fluendo, we implemented a Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) testing architecture, covering everything from channel configuration validation to protocol testing for WebRTC, RTSP, and UDP streams.

Latency and server throughput were measured under load to ensure the RRS consistently delivers high-quality video streams, even in the most demanding operational environments. Our containerized packaging and deployment process leverages Docker and automated testing, providing a streamlined workflow for building, testing, and deploying the system across different environments.

The result is a production-ready RRS that offers low-latency streaming, seamless recording, and flexible API control, enabling law enforcement teams to monitor live operations effectively and respond in real time. By combining Intelion’s AI-driven analytics with Fluendo’s multimedia expertise, this collaboration demonstrates the power of integrated solutions—bringing live intelligence directly to the field while maintaining reliability, performance, and scalability.

Looking ahead

Fluendo’s RRS not only addresses immediate operational needs but also lays the foundation for future enhancements. Its modular architecture and API-driven design allow rapid expansion of functionality, keeping pace with the evolving demands of law enforcement operations.
